Every Dodge OMNI generation, measured
One row per generation. Watch the weight column — that is where most of the change happens, and it is the number that decides fuel use, tyre wear and how far the car takes to stop.
| Generation | Length | Width | Height | Wheelbase | Curb weight |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1978 | 163.4″ | 66.1″ | 53.5″ | 99.2″ | 2,136 lb |
| 1979–1980 | 168.9″ | 65.7″ | 52.8″ | 98″ | 2,227 lb |
| 1981 | 174″ | 66.5″ | 51.2″ | 96.5″ | 2,198 lb |
| 1982 | 168.5″ | 66.1″ | 52″ | 98″ | 2,161 lb |
| 1983–1984 | 165″ | 65.7″ | 53.1″ | 99.2″ | 2,119 lb |

OMNI year by year
Measured every model year, not just at generation changes — 10 years on record. Small moves inside a generation are facelifts; the jumps are new platforms.
| Model year | Length | Width | Wheelbase | Curb weight | Body styles |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1990 | 163.4″ | 66.1″ | 99.2″ | 1 | |
| 1986 | 163.4″ | 66.1″ | 100″ | 2 | |
| 1985 | 162.2″ | 66.1″ | 99.2″ | 2 | |
| 1984 | 165″ | 65.7″ | 99.2″ | 1 | |
| 1983 | 165″ | 65.7″ | 99.2″ | 1 | |
| 1982 | 168.5″ | 66.1″ | 98″ | 2 | |
| 1981 | 170.9″ | 66.1″ | 97.6″ | 3 | |

Will a OMNI fit
The practical question behind every dimensions search. A single-car garage in the US is typically 20 feet deep; a street parking space is about 18. We allow a foot of clearance in both — nobody parks to the millimetre.
| Space | Typical size | This car | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|
| Single garage | 20 ft deep | 13.6 ft | Fits, with room to open the door |
| Street parking space | 18 ft | 13.6 ft | Fits comfortably |
| Standard parking bay width | 8.5 ft wide | 5.5 ft | Room to open doors both sides |
Against cars of the same length
Compared with 373 vehicles within ten inches of the same length — a fair proxy for «cars of this size», regardless of what the marketing calls them.
| Measure | This car | Typical car of this length | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| Width | 66.1″ | 67.7″ | -1.6″ |
| Wheelbase | 99.2″ | 98″ | +1.2″ |
| Curb weight | 2,299 lb | 2,738 lb | -439 lb |
A longer wheelbase for the same overall length means shorter overhangs — usually more cabin space and a steadier ride. Lighter than typical for its size generally means better fuel economy and shorter stopping distances.

How we measure
Dimensions come from NHTSA vPIC and Transport Canada vehicle records — manufacturer-declared figures, held in metric and converted to inches and pounds for display.
One row per generation, not per model year: manufacturers rarely change the body between facelifts, and a table of forty near-identical rows helps nobody. Where a generation offered several body styles, the figures are the base measurements for that generation.
